Hi there, After feeling defeated I thought I'd give it another go. pressed button s i had before bt maybe not in the same order and have now finally a scuba suit that fits vicky. I used the assign material button in the group tool and renamed the parts like you said. I then added my texture map and Poser seemed to do everything else. I didn't need to delete names or use an editor. Seems to render perfect as well. We shall see. Thank you for your time and help in helping me, its really appreciated. I was thinking about hitting my head against the wall. trevor
